Midnight Commander

Unfortunately 4.7.0 is tagged as 'minor feature enhancements' and 'minor bugfixes'. With the introduction of proper charset support, including out of the box UTF-8 support and the ability to quickly switch the encoding of either file names or file contents by pressing Alt+E, plus numerous other new features listed at www.midnight-commander..., this version is a very important major new release. Kudos to all developers who worked hard on this!

mc hangs
Hi!

i have a problem with hanging mc: if mc is run over ssh in screen session under x.org (x.org - on the server side), after some operations mc hangs and what is the most disappointing - the only possibility to start mc anew is to reboot the system.

all this goes on on slackware 11, 12 and default package.

bugreport: menu box displacement
Hi,

menubar_draw_drop misplaces the box because the menubar's strting x

and y coordinates are added twice. This bug doesn't produce visible result

as long as menu starts at screen coordinates 0;0.

P.S. I know this is not the proper place to report bugs; however, the project

page doesn't offer any mean of anonymous bugreporting and I am not willing

to register to another service just to report a single bug.

midnight commander has mysterius forces
i have tried many file managers, but i always got back to the midnight commander. it attracts me, must be some mysterious force. :) But probably it is just because i have been using the DOS Norton Commander since i have been 5 or 6 years old ;)

midnight commander is by far the best one ...

Editor displaying ^M
I've upgraded from mc-4.5.42 (rpm, binary) to mc-4.6 (compiled on my system).
Now in the editor, for text files with LF/CR as a line separator it displays a "^M" (CR) on black background at the end of each line. The previous version didn't, and it used to respect the standard of the opened file (LF/CR or LF).
Do I have a problem with one setting ?
Note that it's not specific to one syntax highlight in particular.
Maybe a compilation option ? With "--with-screen=" ?
